But, a/far as the facts of the case go to prove,we ?re led to believe that the coloredpeople can, if they are so disposed, notonly take care of themselves and theirfamilies, but contribute largely towardthe support of the whites. There isnot a reasoning man in the South who(toes not admit that slavery is .extin?guished. That being- the case, wHati; to be done towards insuring a fullbenefit of the crops which are expect?ed to bc raised during the coining'season?The colored men will work now asthey worked before, provided they arcpaid for their labor. They are con?sidered by the Government to he onthe sumo footing with all people inlike circumstances.* The owners ofplantations-need not give themselvesthe least trouble concerning the eultl- jvation of their lands if they make the jproper arrangements of compensation |with the men whom thc}" hire to do !t!io work. Let the same system prejv:iiI here that prevails at the i'orth.A man who performs work therereceives pay for his labor, and it isexpected that the same method will bepursued here in South Carolina.Some farmers complain that thecolored people are deserting their plan?tations; and, unless they return, orothers supply their places', the cropsfor thc ensuing season must fall short.If .these same fanners will take thetrouble to refer to an order recentlyissued by Gen. Hatch, in which heurges upon the owners and lessees ofplantations to make bargains with thecolored people, whom they formerlyheld as slaves, by which the lattershall receive due compensation fortheir labor, np fear need be apprehend?ed that the fields and plantations willgo uncured for.The colored ns well as the whitepeople thoroughly understand that thefields and plantations cannot he worked |unless the men come forward ami !oller their services. In the workingof these plantations there is room foral! who are disposed to labor. TheColored people jnttst understand {hatthey cannot remain in our midst andidle away their time, depending on theGovernment (or sapporo. It is true,the United States authorities set them jtree, but, in PO doing, ir, is expected < f :the colored people that they will dothe best they can towards providing!tor themselves.Let tho colored people accept nnd Iact upon thc advice of tho Kev. JamesLynch, of this city, who tells them jthat they must not depend wholly |upon tho United Slates Governmentfor support. The field is hro:id enoughfor them all to labor upon, nnd it',instead of coming to the city, they jremain in the country and earn theirliving they will benefit ail classes ofthe community.- Charleston Courier^-1-^- !A mo=t extraordinary story is cur?rent in Rome, it is to the effect thata rn-' so urgently desired to sec thePope that the chamberlain, though,.against the rule, consented to ask hisSoliriess ii he would see the man.Tue chamberlain found the Pope pray?ing, and wus twice answered, 'It is nouse for me to see a dead man;' upon jreturning to the spot where he ?iud i?eft tbe man, the chamberlain, to hishorror and wonder, lound him lyingdead, rind on searching him, discovereda revolver and a dagger, proving theman to have premeditated assassinationwho was thus stricken down by theAlmighty iii the moment of tho at?tempt which was strangely revealed tothc Pope.An old toper says the two mostprecious things now included, inhoops, are girls,and kegs ot whiskey.mmiggm ?nBiHiBnM rnrnmmm mm ?JEFF.

Ile asserts thal lie knows thatno other amounts of specie not in thopockets of its owners were taken fromRichmond, and this lot was all stolen.He stales further that the amount hasbeen vastly over-estimated, and conlinns the statement heretofore made by(jen.
